Book Description
Through its comprehensive history of post-war queer writing in Boston and San Francisco from the 1940s through the 21st century, Never By Itself Alone provides a new view of queer history. Grundy intertwines analysis of lesbian, gay, and queer literature of the time, centering voices which have not yet before been explored in existing criticism. The book elevates the underrepresented work of writers of color and those with gender-nonconforming identities, underscores the link between activism and literature, and insists upon the vital importance of radical accounts of race, class and gender in any queer studies worthy of the name

Book Description
Launching a major new research project examining the principles of succession law in comparative perspective, this book discusses the formalities which the law imposes in order for a person to make a testamentary disposal of property. Among the questions considered are the following. How are wills made? What precisely are the rules - as to the signature of the testator, the use of witnesses, the need for a notary public or lawyer, and so on? Is there is a choice of will-type and, if so, which type is used most often and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How common is will-making or do most people die intestate? What happens if formalities are not observed? How can requirements of form be explained and justified? How did the law develop historically, what is the state of the law today, and what are the prospects for the future? The focus is on Europe, and on countries which have been influenced by the European experience. Thus in addition to giving a detailed treatment of the law in Austria, Belgium, England and Wales, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, the book explores legal developments in Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, and in some of the countries of Latin America with a particular emphasis on Brazil. It also includes chapters on two of the mixed jurisdictions - Scotland and South Africa - and on Islamic Law. The book opens with chapters on Roman law and on the early modern law in Europe, thus setting the historical scene as well as anticipating and complementing the accounts of national history which appear in subsequent chapters; and it concludes with an assessment of the overall development of the law in the countries surveyed, and with some wider reflections on the nature and purpose of testamentary formalities.

Book Description
DISCRETIONARY TESTAMENTARY TRUSTS: PRECEDENTS AND COMMENTARY provides practitioners with adaptable tools to draft these complex trusts safely and easily for differing client needs. Discretionary Testamentary Trusts (DTT's) are currently in high demand, as they offer significant tax advantages and provide valuable asset protection. The precedents contained in this text are flexible and adaptable to a wide range of client circumstances. To achieve flexibility the central DTT precedent, the 'Boilerplate' is modular. It consists of defined elements which the practitioner can select and assemble. There are variations for particular circumstances, ensuring it is not difficult to draft a seamless DTT will. The book also contains a precedent for a trust for a severely disabled person. DISCRETIONARY TESTAMENTARY TRUSTS: PRECEDENTS AND COMMENTARY also assists the practitioner to explain the will to the client by offering in lay person's language clause-by-clause explanations of the main Boilerplate precedent. Rowland and Bailey provide useful examples to show how the precedents could be used in practical situations. These examples include: gifts to members of a list, with some on DTT and some not, and with some to be represented on predecease and some not; unequal shares to children, one of whom is disabled, the disabled child to take on trust, the other children to take on DTT; and provision for a blended family using Divisions. The blended family precedent is designed to cope with a testator who may or may not have a former spouse or partner as well as a present partner, and children from a former relationship as well as children of a present relationship, using DTTs for some of the beneficiaries but not all.
